Course detail(official website)
| Hole 1 | Par 4, Back 392, Blue 379, White 353, Gold 336, Red 292 This is a blind hole with the left dogleg. The first shot is aimed at the right side. Please be careful overstriking because the back of the green is narrow. |
|---|---|
| Hole 2 | Par 3, Back 164, Blue 164, White 138, Gold 130, Red 95 This is a short hole across the pond. You want to make sure that the two-shots on the green pin position area is turned on. |
| Hole 3 | Par 4, Back 367, Blue 367, White 330, Gold 309, Red 271 This is a short middle hole with a downhill. For the tee shot, there are forests on the left and right side, and rock creek and bunker on the left side, it aims slightly to the right. The second shot has a bunker in the back and overhitting is wanted to avoid. |
| Hole 4 | Par 4, Back 421, Blue 404, White 382, Gold 370, Red 326 This is a middle hole in the hard climb. Please pay attention to the OB on the right for the first shot. Without focusing on two-shots on the green, three-shots on the green is definitely wise. |
| Hole 5 | Par 5, Back 507, Blue 475, White 450, Gold 436, Red 382 This is a long hole with a short distance. The first shot pays attention to the OB on the left and the right forest, and slightly on the left side is the best position. The second shot is over glass creek, paying attention to the remaining 150 yards. |
| Hole 6 | Par 4, Back 440, Blue 400, White 376, Gold 336, Red 279 The first shot is worried about the tree near 172 yards from the tee area, but it is a big drive to the left side. Beware of overstriking because it becomes a blind. The green is a green with intricate swells in the elevated. |
| Hole 7 | Par 4, Back 407, Blue 385, White 359, Gold 349, Red 257 The first shot is the right side without worrying about the pond in front of you. The second shot was also aimed at the green right side to cross the pond. |
| Hole 8 | Par 3, Back 211, Blue 190, White 181, Gold 143, Red 113 This is a hard short hole with a narrow, long pond and a rack hazard leading to a pond. The green is quite swelling. |
| Hole 9 | Par 5, Back 548, Blue 548, White 523, Gold 490, Red 475 This is a spacious, slammed long hole. Rough is dotted with megaliths, so do not bend it. The two-shot on the green is also possible if it is a perfect shot. |
| Hole 10 | Par 4, Back 380, Blue 362, White 348, Gold 348, Red 334 The middle hole is downhill. You need to be careful of club selections for tee shots as you catch in the river at 215-250 yards left from the regular tee. |
| Hole 11 | Par 3, Back 164, Blue 164, White 146, Gold 134, Red 105 This is a flat short hole. The right side is an OB, so if you can avoid it, it is easy to finish it. |
| Hole 12 | Par 4, Back 442, Blue 412, White 393, Gold 375, Red 305 This is the middle hole with right dogleg and downhill. The first shot is a little aimed at the right, paying attention to the left penetrating (244 yards) There are guard bunkers and ponds around the green, so you want to aim for the second shot bigger. |
| Hole 13 | Par 4, Back 421, Blue 390, White 363, Gold 338, Red 267 This middle hole is across the big pond. The first shot pays attention to shallow left OBs and aims slightly to the right without worrying about the pond. |
| Hole 14 | Par 5, Back 528, Blue 500, White 475, Gold 461, Red 415 This is a long flat hole. The first shot has an OB on the left, and the far left back of the fairway is downhill, so the right side is the best position. You definitely want to attack the second shot with keeping the fairway. |
| Hole 15 | Par 4, Back 452, Blue 417, White 387, Gold 373, Red 275 This is a downhill middle hole with a spacious distance. The first shot can be a long drive on the right side. There are 11 bunkers waiting around the green, so you want to catch the green accurately. |
| Hole 16 | Par 5, Back 558, Blue 538, White 501, Gold 486, Red 436 This is a technical long hole with a difference in height. You need to be careful with hitting the first shot because the back left is depressed and becomes a blind. You should aim for the fairway on the right side. |
| Hole 17 | Par 3, Back 214, Blue 201, White 177, Gold 141, Red 141 This is a short hole of the downhill over the creek. You need to pay attention for wind direction and be careful with club selection. |
| Hole 18 | Par 4, Back 387, Blue 360, White 331, Gold 288, Red 288 This is a middle hole of the climb with a large pond. The first shot is over the huge pond and be careful of the left and right forests and keep fairway. The second shot that will be an uphill will pay attention to the sense of distance and hit it longer. |
